Jack and I loved this Hulu documentary about the 1996 sketch comedy show, canceled before all eight episodes aired. Featuring old clips and new interviews with Carvey, Stephen Colbert, and Steve Carell, among others, it made us wish we had seen the show. Colbert and Carell (last blogged for Battle of the Sexes) worked together before and on that show and it didn't seem to hurt their careers. Same with writer Robert Carlock (profiled in Whiskey Tango Foxtrot).
Director/writer Josh Greenbaum has a handful of credits, the only ones of which I've seen are for directing three episodes of New Girl. I have to mention, though, that his upcoming Hulu documentary about actor George Lazenby, Becoming Bond, has an eerily similar poster to Suburbicon's, which I finished covering minutes ago. Here are the Becoming Bond poster and the Suburbicon poster. See for yourself.
Rotten Tomatoes' critics (14 of them at this posting) are averaging 100% and its critics 94. Watch this at home sometime. You'll laugh.
Musings on movies, suitable for reading before or after you see them. I write WITHOUT SPOILERS. The one thing I hate more than spoilers is reviewers' trashing movies because they think it makes them seem smart. Movie title links are usually links to blog posts.
